upgrade RH9?
by Edward J. Weinberg 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Can you upgrade RH9 to Centos, or do you have to do a complete install? Is there an iso with a .ks file on it to do a remote install?

Whitebox to CentOS upgrade
by first last 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

Hi everyone, I have a home computer that I use to develop on, which it is running Whitebox 3.0. I have copied all the required CentOS 3.4 RPMs to /RPM, created a new yum repository and then updated, but when I try to upgrade, it fails on a "recursive dependency on glibc". Is there any way I can force that dependency? Would it be easier to upgrade to 4.0 using Anaconda? Thanks for all the work Gabriel ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - all new features - even more fun! http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

Apcupsd UPS monitoring
by Nigel Kendrick 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Having some fun with the APC monitoring daemon (apcupsd) - I've installed the Whitebox rpm and it runs OK but I cannot communicate with the UPS on ttyS0 or ttyS1. I'm using a supported cable (according to the utility's Web site). I've followed the troubleshooting tips on the app's Web site with no luck - the only bit that I can't resolve is it recommends disabling logins on ttySn - how's this done as I can't find any notes on the site or via a google search. Does anyone have any experience of this utility - and any tips? Thanks Nigel Kendrick

OT: Which programming language should I use?
by Benjamin J. Weiss 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Sorry for the OT post, just looking for a pointer from somebody who's been there and done that. I'm looking to write a program that will allow for managing documents that have been encrypted with AES. I want the program to be as cross-platform as possible, so at the least it needs to run in Win2K/WinXP and in linux X-windows (X.org). Now, I used to write in Java a few years ago, so I guess that's an option. My concerns are that back then Java was slow, and I don't know if there's an easy-to-use cross-platform crypto library for Java. I've seen at least one program that was written in python and Tkinter on the web that offers the source for running in linux, and they offer a .exe download. (http://www.axware.nl) I don't know how they do it, but I saw a claim on the web that python/Tkinter was a great cross-platform combo. The idea is that the user will type in a passphrase and the program will grab the file and either display it (if simple, like text) or launch another program (like pdf). I'll also need to figure out how to tell the program not to swap the memory to disk Any ideas? Thanks! Ben

Benjamin, Although Andrew is totally biased, Python does run well on Linux, Windows and the Mac. Python is hot! http://www.strombergers.com/python/perl_ha_ha_ha.html Rick

Secure server install
by Håvard Hebnes 27 Jan '05

27 Jan '05

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'll try. When I do a minimum install of Centos, which default users should I delete (users that won't be needed on a server) It will be used for webhosting, mail, sql.. And, what partitions would you advice me to create? /root, /tmp, swap, /... should I have more? /Håvard

Coraid Ether Drives
by Eiliv Haugland 27 Jan '05

27 Jan '05

Hello My company is changing server software to CentOS on Dell equipment. At the same time we are expanding our RAID system from standard SCSI to either SATA, or the technology brought forward by Coraid using the AoE protocol. Before we take the final decision I am looking for some real experience with Coraid products on a scale of 30+ disks. We will be using a cluster of four servers with a mix of RAID10 and RAID5. Does anyone have any experience into this area Regards Eiliv Haugland Net2Work
